This national distinction celebrates [Chinese Hospital]\u2019s achievements in prioritizing patient safety by protecting patients from preventable harm and errors. The new grades reflect performance primarily during the height of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

“We are honored to receive recognition from The Leapfrog Group as one of the top-performing hospitals in the nation for patient safety and quality care,” said Dr. Jian Zhang, CEO of Chinese Hospital. “At Chinese Hospital, patient safety has always been a top priority, and this recognition reaffirms our commitment to that mission. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff, who have worked tirelessly to provide safe and high-quality care to our patients, especially during these challenging times. This achievement is a testament to their hard work and unwavering commitment to our patients and community.”<\/p>\n

The Leapfrog Group, an independent national watchdog organization, assigns an \u201cA,\u201d \u201cB,\u201d \u201cC,\u201d \u201cD\u201d or \u201cF\u201d grade to general hospitals across the country based on over 30 national performance measures reflecting errors, accidents, injuries and infections, as well as systems hospitals have in place to prevent harm.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new update of Hospital Safety Grades shows that, at the national level, we saw deterioration in patient safety with the pandemic,\u201d said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. \u201cBut this hospital received an \u2018A\u2019 despite those challenges. I congratulate all the leaders, staff, volunteers and clinicians who together made that possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only hospital ratings program based exclusively on hospital prevention of medical errors and harm to patients. The grading system is peer-reviewed, fully transparent and free to the public. Grades are updated twice annually, in the fall and spring.<\/p>\n
